Not as far as I know but hes been on the bench a few times lately, so hes been on the cusp of the first team meaning once again were leaving ourselves short unless someone comes in.

The timing is a bit odd as well with Arteta and Coquelin out.

Exactly leaving us incredibly short in midfield and relying on sick note Diaby to stay fit.

Frimpong was on loan at the start of the season and came back I think, needs games but I think he will be brilliant. Always looks like he wants to play for Arsenal rather than himself, really like the look of him.

Well at least it's more plausible than the cavani rumour.

Until something concrete or even anything more solid than thin air comes out, it's just as likely as a Cavani bid, ie zero chance.

There's a link for it in the usual place but we won't know for sure until a few minutes before the game

#AFC v Brighton Szczesny; Jenkinson, Kosicelny, Mertesacker, Santos; Diaby, Ramsey; Ox-C, Rosicky (c), Podolski; Walcott.

Worried about Santos, and hopefully the players who haven't played much this season ( Jenks, Rosicky in particular) won't be too rusty.

Arsenal team: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Mertesacker (c), Koscielny, Santos, Diaby, Ramsey, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Podolski, Giroud #BHAvAFC

from official twitter

Giroud only difference

Delighted to see Rosicky back. He hasn't played much in a good while so hopefully he makes it through ok. Wonder what way the midfield is lining out. Ramsey and Rosicky with Diaby more advanced?

Maire2009

Frimpong has had a lot of injury problems - he was at Charlton on loan and didn't look like he'd get a game with us so a time with Fulham should do him well. I think he's been more unlucky than Wenger not seeing a role for him at Arsenal - he has picked up some bad injuries in last two seasons so can't get on a roll.

Strong team out today - hopefully we can get the job done early.

Will probably be Ramsey in the holding role he played Wednesday night with Diaby and Rosicky further forward i reckon.

cson

Any recipes would be greatly appreciated.

Just pm'd

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Fox Soccer? They seem to show all of our games

Yeh and sometimes there analysis of games pre match and half time can be good for a laugh.

Hopefully.

Played in a position that suits him will only make Ramsey a better player for us.

Edit: Some mighty fine recipes out there. Thanks lads.

In the same boat lads, thought I got sorted but nothing doing.

Cracking finish Giroud

The counter attack again! It's making a come back

Marty McFly

What a goal .

HazDanz

Lovely counter attacking football.

dvemail

Super save, even better goal

Fuzzy_Dunlop

I wonder which football powerhouse Ivory Coast are playing this time.

AdamD

Santos is an atrocious footballer

greendom

Santos - complete liability - got lucky there

patrickc

offside but Santos yet again

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Dodged a bullet there!


Santos did well initially to win the ball and then gives it away.

Roddy23

Balls

Roddy23

Get Santos off quick

Brighton know it too - all their attacks down the right

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Great ball by Jenkinson there.

Mr Blobby

Feck off Andre.....:mad:

AdamD

Is he ever actually in the LB position? Jenkinson hasn't had an opposition player attack him once, there is an obvious need to change Santos but no doubt that Wenger won't.

Marty McFly

I can be critical of Gibbs at times but one things for sure if he get's injured we are well and truely up shiit creek without a paddle. Santos is a truely awful player.

DB10

Santos getting an awful going over, just turning up for the pay cheque clearly doesnt care. Pundits on Fox are ripping him a new one as they are on twitter. An awful purchase, and shouldnt be at the club only for Wenger being stubborn as usual.

I fear for us in the second half, luckily Brightons main defender is gone off so we should score if we attack with penetration.

DB10

Diaby needs to shape up also, going through the motions in midfield once again. To think he was compared to Vieira last week lol. The only likeness is the look of him and similar way he moves with his long legs.

efb

who is that co-commentator? His voice annoys me (and his analysis)

AdamD

Oh what a goal Giroud

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Close from Podolski!

Shows why he should be on freekicks from the right hand side of the pitch.

DB10

Sounds like Don Goodman. Hes alot better than the usual anti Arsenal Trevor Francis or Tony Gale.

Mr Blobby

BIG SEXY!!!!

efb

woot

Roddy23

Great finish Giroud

Soups123

Great movement and finish

Fuzzy_Dunlop

get in Giroud!

Excellent goal. Thought the pass was overhit initially.

dvemail

Hate saying it but that was Song / Van Persie esc.

WoollyRedHat

OO la La Oliver, come on come on.

DB10

great goal

DB10

wtf was that a yellow for, stupid ****ing referee
